i have the newest macbook pro, with the battery that cannot be removed.
i fel asleep with my laptop beside me and somehow during the night my drink spilled. i woke up and checked everything out and everything worked fine, except when i use the trackpad it seems delayed or slow and when i try to do the 2 finger scroll it isn't as fast.
is there anything i can do myself to fix this?!

All you likely do is clean the surface with a soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alchol.
If the liquid got underneath, then it's likely going to need a replacement, use a cheap mouse and hopefully it will fix itself.
Note that if liquid spilled into your MBP, you should turn it off, put it in a dry place and not turn it back on for at least several days, preferably a week. (Do not try the "rice trick" that you might find recommended online, it will just get into your keyboard, optical drive and other places and cause you more problems.)
Unfortunately, since you've been using it, the damage may have already been done... but perhaps you've gotten lucky. You'd still better shut it off and let it dry thoroughly before doing anything else with it, or you risk that liquid causing a short and frying some vital (and expensive) component.
Also, if that liquid was anything other than water, it will have left sugars and other things behind, and that can also cause shorts, so you still may have trouble.
Ultimately, if you have any problems that don't go away after it is thoroughly dry, you're going to be looking at hardware repairs.
